The Consul at Geneva ( Gilbert ) to the Secretary of State
[Received April 14—6:10 a.m.]
100. Loveday3 spoke to Davis in London concerning the question of wheat and Davis has indicated to me that this matter is being handled by the Department. Economic Section now inquires whether it is planned that wheat will be taken up along the general lines suggested in Department’s 39, March 28, 2 p.m., and commented on in Consulate’s 91, March 30, 4 p.m.,4 or whether it will be considered in connection with contemplated conversations in Washington.5 With reference to the possible shift of consideration of wheat to Washington it has been noted here from the press that Australia is not mentioned among the states invited. Economic Section would appreciate any clarification on these points which may be given it.
